Requirement for Operation

N/A The following items are required or recommended for operation, but are not included with this respirator:

  • An ambient air pump that is NIOSH approved for use with respirators, capable of delivering 7 to 15 cfm of air at 8 to 12 psi
  • 1/2-inch x 50-feet respirator hose from the ambient air pump to the helmet connection
  • Protective clothing, gloves, and shoes suitable for a heavy construction site
  • Primary hearing and eye protection
  • Output from the ambient air pump must meet the standard for Grade D breathing air, as defined by the Compressed Gas Association,
    Commodity Specification: G-7.1

Description of Operation

N/A

  • The Apollo 20 includes a single-shell construction helmet supported by an adjustable suspension. The operator adjusts the suspension to fit, then installs it in the helmet. A chin strap holds the helmet firmly in place. The rectangular window provides a clear field of view. An inner fixed lens and one middle lens seal out dust and abrasive.
  • Up to three lightweight, disposable outer lenses, held in place by a hinged frame, protect the middle lens from pitting. As the outermost disposable lens becomes pitted, it can be torn off to expose the next lens.
  • The Apollo 20 LP comes with a Constant-Flow Connector that provides a fixed flow of air.
  • A flexible breathing tube between the Constant-Flow Connector and the helmet allows free movement of the operator’s head. This tube contains specially formulated sound-deadening materials that help the respirator comply with 80 dBA maximum noise level while allowing free air flow. For maximum protection while blasting, the operator must wear ear plugs or other suitable hearing protection and safety glasses or goggles.
  • The air enters the helmet at the rear, travels through a sound-attenuating distribution system at the top, and circulates about the operator’s face. The incoming air maintains slightly positive pressure inside the helmet, so exhaled air exits via the knit collar. Maintaining positive pressure inside the helmet helps keep out the potentially harmful dust and abrasive.

Advantages

N/A

  • Requires no compressor, breathing air filter, or CO monitor
  • Box-front window features economical replacement lenses
  • Sound-attenuating, air-distribution channel
  • Lightweight construction
  • Molded-in carrying handle
  • Allows operator to wear supplementary hearing and primary eye protection

Approval and Certifications

N/A The Apollo 20 LP helmet is a NIOSH approved type CE respirator (approval number TC-19C-339) and is recognized by OSHA as having an assigned protection factor (APF) against lead dust of 1000 times the permissible exposure limit (PEL).

Application Alert

N/A Respirators are not approved for use in any atmosphere immediately dangerous to life or health or from which the wearer cannot escape without the aid of the respirator. Before using any respirator, make sure that any airborne contaminants are not in concentrations that are in excess of those allowed by applicable OSHA or EPA regulations or NIOSH recommendations. Consult the product literature and owner's manuals for information concerning the proper function, use, and maintenance of these respirators. Always recommend carbon monoxide (CO) monitors.

Purpose

N/A The Apollo 20 LP is designed for use with an ambient air pump. It meets OSHA standards for respiratory protection and noise limitations. The Apollo 20’s full-helmet design and heavy-duty cape protect the blast operator’s head, neck, shoulders, and chest from rebounding abrasive.

Note

N/A All Apollo 20s come with DLX and web suspensions; DLX suspension installed.

Color Changed to Green In 2007.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has Assigned Apollo Helmets a Protection Factor of 1,000 Times the Exposure Limit for Lead Dust.

Prior to use, ensure that the Apollo, type CE, supplied-air respirator is appropriate for your specific blasting conditions and requirements.
For safe, efficient blasting, read and follow the owner's manual and seek training for everyone who will use this equipment.
